I did’nt visit your site until tonight (on watch again). Really nice. I’m learning how to get the most from my camera your pages will help.

I’d like to go downtown with you for some pizza, beer and photo tips.

Thank you so much for visiting. I am still a rookie here and enjoy all you amazing photographers coming to visit! I would say 75% of my stuff is tonemapped. Other than that, I don’t do much besides lighting, sharpening, contast, etc. I use photomatix for tonemapping, but I do not particularly like the blown out HDR look. I prefer the more realistic look. I take it i succeeded by your question Most of my stuff (85% or so) is taken handheld, so that makes it a bit difficult for that perfect HDRing. Thanks again for visiting!

Just stumbled upon your blog via a comment on Curt Fleenor’s Website. Loving what Ive seen so far, gonna have a better look through in a minute and have bookedmarked it for future! very impressive shots and you’ve been to some amazing places! So jealous.

It is so nice to meet you Adam!
Thank you for your visit and your kind comment.
It is how I found you here, and I am so glad I did.
Your photography is simply magnificent.
Thank you (and so many others) for all you do for us.
I wish you a beautiful Christmas.

Thanks for noticing my little blog. It’s always great to get comments from new people. I currently have a small core of friends… and we regularly comment on each other’s blogs. Interestingly, most of them are US guys. I meet up with them in London sometimes for a walk-about-shoot. I enjoy learning techniques of other people’s blogs – I think this a far better way of improving than any book or photo course. Its all about practise and inspiration. I still have lots to learn!

So, I am going to check your blog regularly, and hopefully learn a little and enjoy your European tour.

Hey George! Thanks for stooping by and getting in touch.

If the magazine is something that you sell or someone runs as a business (makes a profit from), then please let me know and we can discus. Otherwise, feel free! Please let me know when you post it so I can link to it here on the blog.

I really like your site and your photographs are stunning. And, now I know exactly how long a jiffy is!! Excellent name for a photography site. I couldn’t come up with anything catchy and just use my own name – how lame.

This old AF dependent wishes to correct/add to your Italian knowledge. Above Firenze, that beautiful spot is known as “Piazzale” Michelangelo. It’s where all the brides want to be photographed on their wedding day 😉 Aviano (US AFB) at the foot of Mt. Cavallo in the Alpanini is quite a lovely spot if one can tear oneself away from the beauties of La Serenissima!
Best of luck in your travels!

Thanks Aaron! Right now I am using a D800 most of the time, although I pull out the D7000 and D90 for some of the more dirty/risky shoots. primarily shoot with the 14-24mm or 28-300mm, although I use the 50mm 1.4, 85mm 1.8, and 105mm 2.8 a good amount as well! How are you doing????? Been a loooong time…
